Good Will Hunting

Fucking loved this film for so many reasons. I was hooked in every single scene which made me want to scream at the characters or cry. Even though I say this a lot, I don’t think I have the words to describe how good this film was. The scene which stuck out to me the most and has stayed in my head after finishing the film was the final argument between Will & Skylar. Matt and Minnie Driver acted their fucking hearts out, making you feel like you were in the room with them; the close camera angle adding to the tension. The self destruction that Will showed in that scene made me furious because she had given him the opportunity for their future together just for him to throw it back in her face. Although you understand Wills choices, it doesn’t make it any easier. Will and Sean’s dynamic makes me speechless. The connection they build upon, sharing similar trauma while having vastly different lives makes me appreciate my own opportunities. Therapy isn’t for everyone, clearly not for Will during his previous sessions before he met Sean, but this film shows the growth that it offers. Personally, I’ve had my own opportunity to understand therapy myself and I have my opinion which is difficult to explain but Good Will Hunting shows its own different opportunity. The opportunity to give yourself a chance and I’ll use this to educate myself. There were so many other amazing scenes in this film and I appreciate the emotion throughout. The feeling once it had finished was difficult but honestly, this film will stick with me for a hot minute.
